Chapter 5281 (Five Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-one) Normal

“Provoke them further?” asked the Gray Hand.

“Yes.” The man said, “Actually… I’m not sure they can hear what I… ask, but… but… if I don’t do this, I… I will feel that everything is too quiet… that’s… too scary. Without any sound, I… I won’t know what to do, and I will get even more panicked. Although at this moment I… am already very panicked.”

“Still no one is paying attention to you?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Yes, no one cares.” said the man.

“Are you provoking them again?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Keep stirring.” The man said, “I asked them, if…even if they are not afraid of me, they are afraid of the dark…”

“Afraid of the dark?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“How did you come up with this idea?” the man asked, “Do you think the blue-armored people will be afraid of the dark at this time?”

The man said: “Because… I was very afraid of the dark at that time.”

After saying this, the man felt something was wrong again, so he said, “Actually, I… can’t say I’m afraid of the dark, but… I’m afraid of the darkness in that place at that time.”

“What kind of darkness?” asked the Gray Hand Man. “It’s… the kind of complete darkness that comes with coldness.” The man said, “I’m not afraid of all darkness. Darkness… is the norm… I… I should think it’s normal. I should… have learned to blend into the darkness and become… a part of it… Right… It should be like this. But at that moment… I was so afraid of the darkness. Actually… it’s a pretty embarrassing thing, but… I was really afraid at that time. Now that you ask me, I’m telling you the truth at that time… If someone else asked me at another time, I… I really wouldn’t want to say this.”

The Gray Hands asked again: “Merge into the darkness, become a part of it?”

The man said, “Yes…it was supposed to be like this, but…I didn’t…do it.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, “What do you think the Blue Armor Man’s attitude toward darkness is?”

“I didn’t think about this question at the time. Now that you ask me, let me think about it…” The man thought for a moment and said, “Those blue-armored people should…should not like darkness…they…like light and warmth…People like them, those with no ability, should…not blend into the darkness. Only people with ability can become part of the darkness, and…and people without ability, like them…can only yearn for light when they are bullied.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Were you not longing for light?”

“Yearning.” The man said, “But… but I… I shouldn’t be the kind of person they are… Well, I definitely won’t be the kind of person they are. I yearn for light because I encountered a special situation. I… stayed in the special darkness and coldness… for so long, then… then it must be, different from my usual mentality. If it was normal… for example… experiencing a short period of darkness, not such a complete darkness, not accompanied by cold darkness, then… then I shouldn’t yearn for light… this…”

The man thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I’m not sure… because sometimes I do unexpected and embarrassing things…”
